South Africa v England - 2nd One Day International

Multan Sultans and Islamabad United are set to lock horns in Match No. 7 of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Sunday, February 19. The match will take place at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

The Sultans, led by Mohammad Rizwan, started their campaign with a defeat at the hands of the Lahore Qalandars. But they have made a stupendous comeback with two wins in a row against the Quetta Gladiators and the Peshawar Zalmi.

Their bowling attack, consisting of Ihsanullah and Usama Mir, turned out to be lethal in both matches against the Zalmi and Gladiators. Their batters, especially Rilee Rossouw and skipper Rizwan, have been in exceptional form.

The United, on the other hand, are placed second in the table with two points and a net run rate of +1.059. They will go into their next game after beating Karachi Kings, led by Imad Wasim, by four wickets on Thursday.

After being put in to bat first, the Kings scored 173 for 7 on the back of Haider Ali’s 59. However, Colin Munro scored a match-winning 58 to help United get off to a brilliant start to the tournament.
